Happy, with minor wishes

A sensible, right sized HR system for a business like ours. Nothing about it is exciting, but everything works, which is what you actually want from HR software.

A pleasure to actually use

Onboarding a new starter used to be a scramble of forms and chasing. Now a checklist runs itself before their first day and they arrive to a system that already knows them.

First proper HR system and it was painless

We hit twenty staff and realised holiday on a whiteboard was not going to cut it any more. Setup took an afternoon and the team was booking leave through the app by the end of the week.

Astonishingly quick to get going for a first HR system. The app is genuinely good. Priced sensibly for a small growing business. Staff actually enjoy using it, which I did not expect.

Cons

We have not needed the deeper modules yet so cannot speak to those. Occasional wish for a bit more customisation on the onboarding flow.

Rotas and leave in one place at last

We came for leave management and stayed for everything else. Holiday requests that used to vanish in inboxes are now a two click approval, and the whole team can see who is off at a glance.

Leave management with a shared calendar ended the double bookings completely.

The per employee module costs do add up once you switch several on.

A qualified recommendation

It does what it says but we use maybe half of what we pay for, and the modular costs across our headcount stopped feeling like clear value once we added a few.

Reviews are painless now

Self service has quietly given me my week back. Staff update their own details and book their own leave without a single email to me, which adds up to a huge amount of time.

The thing that sold me was only paying for what we use. We run the core plus performance and nothing else, and the cost matches exactly what we get.

Right sized for a growing business

Rolled it out to around eighty staff and adoption was immediate because it genuinely feels like a modern app rather than a corporate system nobody wants to open.

Setup was quicker than expected

It replaced a spreadsheet only one person understood, and now if that person is off nobody is stuck, because everything lives in one place everyone can reach.
